Agreed. :-)

They also tend to require the use of a fair bit of imagination; I like 
Wagner's Ring cycle, but the versions I've seen performed it was clear, 
for example, that Fafner was just a few people manipulating a big puppet.

It would be cool, I think, if someone adapted some of the classic operas 
to film format - there are some pretty good (and some pretty awful) 
stories.
